The Pioneer of the Rebirth Era

With the topic, the time passed quickly, Boss Zhang and Qiu Bosong talked very harmoniously, but Lin Wei seemed a little hesitant to speak during the period.

So after the dinner was over, the other party seemed a little presumptuous to keep Yang Dongxu directly. Boss Zhang glanced at Lin Wei and said nothing.

Instead, he was going to find a place to talk to Qiu Bosong about the film and television website in detail. He could see that Yang Dongxu wanted 361 to cooperate with Sohu, not Rising Sun Technology. Qiu Bosong is undoubtedly fully responsible for this cooperation.

So the group of people had their own affairs and left quickly, only Yang Dongxu and Lin Wei were left in the box.

"Say something directly?" Yang Dongxu looked at Lin Wei with a bit of curiosity in his eyes.

After all, colleagues are enemies. Although there is no time to see you die, the two parties don't seem to be in harmony enough to meet and discuss things in private.

"MM recently launched a new function, users can choose their own MM avatar for a fee, and dress up their own avatar." Lin Wei said.

A look of surprise appeared on Yang Dongxu's face, not because he was surprised that MM had found this profit model. He who has been following the development of MM and CC has known about this matter for a long time.

And this is not MM's original creation. Paying virtual characters to dress up is the first of a small Korean website, but the effect is not very good. It is an example of failure.

However, this method is undoubtedly a golden idea for MM and CC, because they have enough user groups. Even if only a few percent of users pay, it is a very considerable income. What surprised him was how Lin Wei talked to him about this matter.

"In order to facilitate the development of this project, both MM and CC plan to establish their own payment systems, and negotiate with Ninetowns. Players and users will use their payment software for online consumption in the future." Lin Wei continued.

Yang Dongxu couldn't help frowning, he really didn't hear the news. It is not surprising that Lin Wei knows that she has a very close relationship with Alipay, and even speculates that he may be a shareholder of Alipay.

After all, when Rising Sun Technology was first established and there was only one project, "Legend", Alipay's support for Rising Sun Technology could be seen by anyone who was not blind.

Although Rising Sun Technology has not disclosed how much commission it pays with Alipay, it is certain that it is lower than those in the same industry, or even extremely low.

In addition, Alipay introduced users to Rising Sun Technology from the very beginning, just like treating its own son. If you don't know the relationship between the two companies, you will have a problem with your brain.

And Alipay is undoubtedly the core of Yang Dongxu's building his own Internet business empire. Whether it is games or shopping, Alipay is an integral part.

But now MM and CC actually want to make their own payment methods, and have already started to connect with the game company, and then they can use their payment software for internal consumption. This is undoubtedly the reason that Parkson Technology and Feixun Technology are going to join forces to stab Yang Dongxu in the heart.

Yang Dongxu is not at all surprised that communication software companies have established their own means of payment. After all, when Penguin in the last life hadn’t come up with any representative ***, what it was best at doing was to allow users to open various memberships and diamonds.

In Yang Dongxu's impression, he hadn't used Alipay yet. At the beginning, I used QQ’s Tenpay, but later Alipay came out and swept all kinds of payment software on the Internet to dominate the world.

But after WeChat payment came out, it fought a good turnaround. In short, online payment methods were very lively in the last life, and I will appear on the stage after you sing.

Yang Dongxu thought that in the virtual payment market, he would definitely have various opponents. For example, eBay, which is very active in foreign countries, has been eager to move towards the domestic market in the past few years, which made Yang Dongxu, a shareholder of eBay, feel extremely embarrassed at certain times. .

But what he didn't expect was that competitors would appear so early, and they didn't appear in the game and online shopping industries, but communication software companies sold this step first. Do you want to confirm the old saying: "The one who kills you may not be your peers, it is very likely to be cross-border?"

Especially since the rise of Alipay, UnionPay seems to have a new understanding of this new payment method, and has become curious and vigilant at the same time.

So in the past few years, it is not that no one has seen the cake of the payment industry, but they are all stuck in UnionPay and have not obtained a license. Therefore, MM and CC, relying on their huge user base, coupled with such a good idea as the avatar show, took advantage of the trend to make payment software. There are not only the shadows of the two technology companies, but someone is going to make trouble.

"Isn't it what you would like to see competitors? Only by being competitive can you enjoy a better price-performance ratio." Many possibilities and conspiracy theories swirled in Yang Dongxu's mind for a while, but he said lightly without showing it on his face.

Since everyone knows that Alipay has a very close relationship with him, although he has not publicly admitted it, he has not denied it either, so it is better to just acquiesce now.

"Competition can indeed promote the healthy development of the industry, but the premise is that companies have enough freedom of choice." Lin Wei couldn't help showing a wry smile on her face.

There are more choices in the payment field, which is naturally a good thing for game companies like them. After all, it’s not like Alipay will give as much commission as they want. They have other options and they have bargaining chips.

At the same time, when facing Sunrise Technology, which is like Alipay's own son, it can also gain a little competitive advantage. But the problem is that many players and users of Ninetowns now rely on one-key login through communication software.

Players are the lifeblood of game companies, and half of their own lives are in their hands. It is really not certain whether the payment software will be a helper or a drag when it comes out.

"Then what do you mean by telling me this?" Yang Dongxu looked at Lin Wei suspiciously.

Even if the communication software technology company launches its own payment software, the impact must be Alipay, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the Ninetowns game company in Lin Wei's hands. And on the bright side, Ninetowns and communication software companies are allies, while Rising Sun Technology and Alipay are enemies.

"I want to cooperate with 361 Browser and Tieba. I hope to get the same promotional resources and the convenience of one-click login of accounts as Sunrise Technology Games." Lin Wei looked at Yang Dongxu and said very directly.

Yang Dongxu raised his eyebrows, leaned back on the chair and placed his fingers crossed on his lap: "The price of these resources is not cheap."

He agrees with Lin Wei's idea of ​​expanding his game import channels. After all, it must feel uncomfortable to have his life in the hands of outsiders.

Let’s not say that Ninetowns is Rising Sun Technology’s opponent now, just the daily hits of the 361 browser and the popularity of Tieba. Yang Dongxu's side is that the emperor's daughter has no worries about marrying, so naturally he needs to pay a high price to get the princess.

And as long as you open your mouth too much, many partners will flock to it, and Ninetowns is already at a disadvantage in this respect. Now Lin Wei is still proactively proposing it so eagerly, didn't she hand him a knife with her own hands, and then said: "Slaughter hard?"

At the same time, the communication software technology company is not a fool, Lin Wei is obviously defecting by doing so. How could the other party loosen the fat in his mouth so easily?

As if seeing Yang Dongxu's doubts, Lin Wei said: "Although the communication software company has found a way to make money from this avatar show, most of the current income comes from diverting users from game companies."

This sentence is undoubtedly very straightforward. Although some players in the game company are in the hands of the communication software company, the income of the communication software company also depends on the game company. Everyone is mutually restricted.

Moreover, there are not one but two communication companies, which is another involvement. If Lin Wei is looking for new channels for user expansion, if the communication software company reacts too much, or if the appearance is too ugly, it is equivalent to giving competitors a chance.

In the final analysis, game companies are just partners to replenish blood for communication software companies, but their peers are unresolved mortal enemies. So on this point, it is estimated that even if the communication software company has opinions, the measures taken will not be so drastic.

"Then why should I choose to cooperate with you?" Yang Dongxu asked.

You can talk about the communication software, but Yang Dongxu has so many people who cooperate with Wang Bo, why do you have to choose Ninetowns?

"While the browser and post bar are diverting traffic to the Ninetowns games, all Ninetowns games will also divert traffic to the post bar. You can even open an official account in the post bar to update and release some game updates and some celebrities on the power ranking list player.

In addition, Ninetowns will also pay you a lot of advertising costs. As far as I know, the current browser's pasting ability mainly relies on two methods: Post Bar and web games.

Many imitators of web games have begun to appear. Although they are not as good as 361, they are constantly diverting these niche players.

Not to mention the Post Bar, at present Baidu, Sina, and even Sohu, which is just under Mr. Zhang, are actively preparing for this one, and even some hot topics have been posted separately.

Although Ninetowns is not as good as Rising Sun Technology, it still has a base of millions of players. With the addition of Ninetowns, the content of the post bar can be supplemented to a certain extent, which is beneficial to both of us. "

This analysis is undoubtedly well-founded, especially since Yang Dongxu can get advertising fees while gaining benefits in it. It doesn't look too good.

After all, although Tieba serves Rising Sun Technology, it does not belong to Rising Sun Technology alone. Otherwise, it will be self-defeating and will be surpassed by these imitators sooner or later.

However, the posts discussing the games of Rising Sun Technology in the post bar were very popular before they were deliberately guided, but the posts about the games of other game companies seemed to be secretive.

One is that no one officially agrees to this aspect, which is actually a bit of an infringement, but this can be done by users of Tieba who post their own posts, and at the end of the trouble, delete the post to prevaricate.

But this is undoubtedly a loss for Tieba, and now those imitators are approaching step by step. It is definitely better to win The9 for official authentication and post than to push him into the arms of those imitators.

What's more, Lin Wei is still so generous, and it costs a lot of advertising fees when she opens her mouth. To be honest, even though the two companies are competitors, this kind of cooperation is a bit like a tiger's skin, but Yang Dongxu still can't help but feel a little excited.

Of course, this exciting final cooperation is definitely not a strong supplement to Tieba when he sees money and goes to Ninetowns to join the Tieba family.

He has absolute confidence in this game in the hands of Rising Sun Technology, even if it diverts Ninetowns, Rising Sun Technology is still the boss.

For example, "Legend" is not comparable to any game now, and more than ten years later, it will still be as popular as "If you are a brother, come and kill me".

It goes without saying that he has cracked down on piracy and cheating, not to mention that he has evergreen games like "Fantasy Westward Journey". And the absolute advantage of starting all kinds of popular games in advance.

If Jiucheng surpassed him because of a diversion, then he could find a piece of tofu and kill him directly and reincarnate.

But what Yang Dongxu is interested in now is not the issue of cooperation, this can be left to Qiu Bosong to discuss. He was a little interested in Lin Wei.

You must know that Lin Wei is only the CEO of Ninetowns, not the boss, and she is holding the stock options of the CEO position. She is not even a shareholder, and at most it is just the dividends of the options.

So such a seemingly beautiful, but not so free position in the country, the other party can find him as a competitor, and use such a sword to take the lead. The person in front of him has a talent that is comparable to her appearance, or even surpasses his beautiful appearance.

After all, taking a slanted sword is synonymous with risk, and those shareholders are not so easy to persuade.
